Possibility of Walking With A Severance

Jul 25, 2021 11 Comments

I’ll try to keep this Exec Summary level:

- Was BSd in to current position; factual ommissions on hiring managers part about condition of programs, actual budget, etc

- Of course, experience & time shows the position is a “throwaway” meaning leaders never expect incumbents to be successful in this role. They intend to use the person as a political punching bag because they know budget is no where near whats needed for success, but they’ll just punch the person over lackluster performance instead of risking their relationships w/ Their Bosses by asking for more $. Its “spousal abuse leadership.”

- Leaders just want someone to occupy the seat, take their crap, and shine the turd as much as possible w/ out wanting to move up in the org.

- I have amassed plenty of data showing these programs are severely underfunded compared to industry benchmarking.

- I am repeatedly denied promotions based on subjective “we think, we feel” reasons despite solid work/job performance backed by data.
They have never shared data for their subjective reasons, even after asking for it.

- The leaders’ behavior is toxic leadership with a thick icing layer of nepotism/politics/non-merit based decision making, but most importantly completely opposite of how company claims to treat its employees.

- I want out of this userous one-way relationship shit job, but can’t afford financially to walk.

- I’m in a career field being completely ball kicked by COVID, so there’s even more risk in quitting.

What are the realistic chances I can take my story of this toxic leadership with its supporting data to HR and get some kind of severance out of the company? One year’s salary would be nice; 6 mos would be scary but doable?
